After a little break from #birdseye posts, here is the usual roundup from Dovetail HQ in the Guinness Enterprise Centre.
Welcome to John Doyle, our newest Software Developer who has joined us from City Wonders. We hope you'll welcome as much as we have (we even gave him a computer, we're nice like that).
World Cup fever has truly hit in here. We started a pool, with each employee getting a few teams each. The levels of satisfaction of the picks from each employee are mixed to say the Least. I've got Holland and Argentina, so I'm still happy out and I don't even follow the footy-ball. We also started a little prediction league for each game, and I've been doing quite well, surprisingly. My new nickname is "The oracle". I think my lack of knowledge has helped me.
Inspired by all the summer sporting events, we've started a few little competitions on the office, which we are dubbing "The Dovetail Office Olympics". The popular game at the moment is the Sneezing Championship. Trevor won the June Sneezing Championship, stating wasabi as his secret formula for sneeze generation. Martin has really upped his game this month so who knows who will take the prize for July. Wasabi use has been banned for all future competitions.

Other sports include Guess the "percentage cocoa" competition, distance bin toss, rubber band precision shoot-out and paper plane construction.
